If L5 is a professional in what he is discussing maybe he should have said that and given his point of view. Rather than calling the other guy a name.

Im a good programmer, when someone wants to debate whether a quicksort is a better algorithm than say a select sort on a set of data I don't just state my opinion and tell the other guy hes a kid and out of his depth... I would instead show him how the dataset may break down and turn the sort into an O(n^2) on the quicksort. Then explain why and how to avoid it. I wasn't saying anthing about his data, just that he was being a dick.

What "Bleating of other sheep" have I cited.

By the way a liberal point of view is not ignorent its just different than yours.
